A Look Inside: Hattie B’s Melrose

Hattie B’s, Nashville’s adored hot chicken restaurant, opened its fourth location on Thursday, November 2, 2017, in the Melrose area. The new outpost took over the space previously occupied by The Hook at 2222 8th Avenue South. Nashville Guru dropped by to get a look inside.

The Interior

The interior has an open floor plan with seating for about 75 guests. From the chairs to the paint, the signature Hattie B’s red, black, and white color scheme is prevalent throughout. There are also a couple televisions so you can keep an eye on the game.

The Exterior

Hattie B’s exterior is certainly a highlight, with a covered patio, a green turf area for yard games like corn hole, and an uncovered platform with picnic tables. There are also outdoor televisions, speakers, fans, and heaters to keep guests entertained and comfortable.

The Menu

Hattie B’s menu is all about southern cookin’ and hot chicken (if you can’t take the heat, there are also some heatless options and regular Southern fried chicken). While hot chicken is the focus, there are some sides like southern greens and pimento mac and cheese, plus desserts like floats, pudding, and peach cobbler. Quench your thirst with a draft beer, iced tea, or hand-squeezed lemonade.
